Topic: Haditha Marines Acquitted

#	Author	Message
1	Eric Paddon Wed 6/18/2008 2:13p	The last time I participated in this forum it was to condemn Congressman Fat Jack Murtha of PA (the guy the liberal media hailed as an impeccable military hero while leaving out the fact he was an unindicted ABSCAM co-conspirator) for his outrageous and disgusting media hog grandstanding on the issue of the "massacre" at Haditha, and using that to assail our troops in Iraq as a grandstanding way of making the case for a bugout. Guess what. One by one, each of the Haditha Marines, Fatso Jack was so quick to condemn on national TV to generate anti-war headlines on page one, have been acquitted and exonerated. The only problem is the media buries news of this, and Fatso Jack has remained silent, refusing to apologize for his actions that exceed his corruption in the ABSCAM matter. I post this information for the benefit of those I once traded barbs with, and retire now back to the happy world of lurkdom. http://www.frontpagemag.com/Ar...E4E3D179

3	gadzuux Wed 6/18/2008 2:45p	Gee - I guess that means those marines didn't do it, huh. The only problem left is that 24 men, women and children were still dragged from their beds in the middle of the night and shot dead - after the marines burst into their home. But you don't care about that, do you? You'd rather slam US congressmen. This qualifies you as a "values voter". By the way, the weblink you posted is only slightly less venomous than your posts. You might want to consider multiple sources for your news.
4	Eric Paddon Wed 6/18/2008 4:49p	Gee, so you deny the fact that the Marines are being exonerated and acquitted, one by one just because you don't like the link I chose that encapsulates all of their cases? As for what I had to say about Fatso Jack the unindicted ABSCAM co-conspirator, I think the matter of the disrespect he showed for all of our troops actively fighting in Iraq by actively serving the propaganda interests of the enemy isn't something his past military service can ever give him cover for (especially since it was used to give his libels of the Marines credence by the media). His actions in going on television to convict all of these Marines without due process and before all the facts were in so he could grandstand for the Moveon.org crowd were straight out of the Jane Fonda in Hanoi realm.
5	gadzuux Wed 6/18/2008 5:14p	As a point of order, they haven't been "exonerated" - the charges have been dismissed - in some cases "without prejudice", meaning they can be refiled at a later date. And the marine that had his charges dropped this week, Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani, wasn't present at the massacre itself, but rather was on trial for "failing to investigate" - possibly because a four-star general - James Mattis - exercised undue influence in the investigation. In other words, a "cover-up". Quelle surprise. >> One Marine still faces prosecution Of eight Marines originally charged in the case, only one is still facing prosecution in the biggest U.S. criminal prosecution involving Iraqi deaths to come out of the war. The incident occurred after a Marine was killed by a roadside bomb. Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich, who faces voluntary manslaughter charges, and a squad member shot five men by a car at the scene. Investigators say Wuterich then ordered his men to clear several houses with grenades and gunfire, leaving women and children among the dead. << http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25211958/ These are the guys you're cozying up to, eric, are you comfy with that? Do you have any concern over what happened in haditha that night? Any explanations about how all those people ended up dead? I didn't think so. Your issue is attacking Murtha, and nothing else. There are none so blind . . .

7	Eric Paddon Thu 6/19/2008 2:34p	Nope, when I call him "Fatso Jack" I'm describing what the guy is and I would gladly say to it his face, especially since that gutless little coward has ducked all media questions posed to him regarding the acquittal of the Marines he libeled on network television. Lt. Colonel Jeffrey Chessani is contemplating a lawsuit against Murtha and I hope he goes ahead and does it. Murtha can just cough up all the bribe money he was on the verge of giving to an FBI agent he thought was an Arab sheikh in 1980.
8	Eric Paddon Thu 6/19/2008 2:36p	As for how the people ended up dead, I believe the exonerated Marines who noted that the enemy was using women and children as shields. There was no proof of a wanton massacre on the part of our soldiers in this instance except in the vivid imaginations of a gasbag Congressman from PA who uses his military service as a shield to give him the right to libel the ones risking their lives for their country today.
9	dshyates Thu 6/19/2008 3:01p	"There was no proof of a wanton massacre on the part of our soldiers" Except, of course, all the dead bodies of women and children and a pile of evidence pointing at a cover-up. And they all have not been exonerated. So WE may have still massacred children.
10	gadzuux Thu 6/19/2008 3:01p	Again - you're just emphasizing my point that all you care about is bashing democrats, when the real story that you're missing is that Murtha was right. The "proof" is that the marines themselves have testified as to what happened that night - how it played out isn't in dispute. They did it. You call Murtha a "gasbag" yet you yourself parrot empty claims about "using women and children as shields". You can't really believe that. They were in bed in the middle of the night. 'WE' - our marines, representatives of you me and every other american - burst inside in the dead of night and shot them all dead. They had no weapons and they were not 'combatants'. And I'll repeat myself again - you don't care about any of that. Your motives and beliefs are as skewed and corrupt as they are patently transparent. You reveal yourself as thoroughly lacking in even a basic level of decency and humanity, and you're even righteous and boastful about it. Yeesh. But stick around, ultimately your posts are enlightening for people to actually see firsthand the ugliness of your beliefs.
